Game Blog / Awesome WarioWare: Smooth Moves Japanese videos
« on: December 01, 2006, 12:45:58 PM »
With the Wii launch only days away in Japan, a few individuals have gotten a hold of systems as well as copies of Odoru Made in Wario, also known as WarioWare: Smooth Moves.  Five videos have been posted on YouTube showing off several different microgames, and are worth the look.

- 9-Volt & 18-Volt
- 9-Volt & 18-Volt #2
- Penny
- Ashley
- Mona

In particular, the 9-Volt video features several games based on Nintendo games and toys ranging all the way from their playing card manufacturing days to recently released and even unreleased games.  Some are based directly on classic gameplay, while others are completely remade.  Not to spoil the surprise, but the boss battle is something very special.

Nintendo has also opened up their website for the game, which features blog posts by characters from the game.  WarioWare: Smooth Moves is not scheduled for release until January 16th in the US.

There have been an abundance of Mario T-shirts available for sale in recent years, so yet another design shouldn't be any surprise.  Except this one from Dolce & Gabana.  It costs $175. 

Throw in the recommended pre-worn jeans to go with the shirt and you'll be set back $520.  That's more than the Basic model PS3!  Not only is the shirt terribly ugly (it looks like they simply printed a magazine ad), it's not like most gamers are especially fashion conscious or have bucket loads of cash.  Will anybody actually buy this abomination?

Last Sunday's Robot Chicken included a comical skit featuring Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi.  In the three-minute clip, the brothers visit Vice City from Grand Theft Auto.  You can download a high quality DivX version here or watch it on YouTube here.  Be aware that the show is intended for mature audiences only.  This is not the first or even second time Mario has been featured on the nostalgically-funny Robot Chicken.

First, Square-Enix combined Mario and Final Fantasy characters in Mario Hoops 3-on-3.  Now, Mario and company will join Dragon Quest characters in Itadaki Street DS.  Itadaki Street is a long-running game series in Japan similar to Monopoly and created by Dragon Quest designer Yuji Horii.  The two most recent editions of the game prior to the DS version featured Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest characters.  This is the first Itadaki Street game on a Nintendo console since Itadaki Street 2 on Super Famicom.  So far, Mario, Luigi, Slime, and Jessica (Dragon Quest VIII) have been shown as playable.  There is no word yet on release dates or release regions outside of Japan.

Nintendo Press Release


NINTENDO OF AMERICA ANNOUNCES EXECUTIVE PROMOTIONS

Kimishima Promoted to Chairman and CEO; Fils-Aime Promoted to President and COO

REDMOND, Wash., May 25, 2006 - On the heels of the successful unveiling of the new Wii(tm) console, Nintendo of America Inc. today announced three key promotions at the executive level. Current President Tatsumi Kimishima is taking on the new role of chairman of the board and chief executive officer, while Reggie Fils-Aime is being promoted to president and chief operating officer from his current role as executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. Additionally, Mike Fukuda is being promoted from senior vice president of Business Development to executive vice president of Business Development. All promotions are effective immediately.

"Around the world, Nintendo DS has been steadily drawing more people into the video game category," said Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo Co., Ltd. "With the upcoming introduction of Wii, along with the strength of this new leadership team and strong executives already in place, Nintendo will continue to dramatically change the way consumers of all ages interact with their video game console on a daily basis."

Kimishima was appointed president of Nintendo of America in January 2002. He joined Nintendo at the company's headquarters in Kyoto, Japan, in 2000. He served as chief financial officer of The Pokémon Company in 2000 and president of Pokémon USA Inc. in 2001. Prior to joining Nintendo, he spent 27 years with Sanwa Bank of Japan, serving in various management positions. As chairman of the board and CEO of Nintendo of America, he will oversee the overall management of Nintendo of America and continue to serve on the boards of Nintendo of America and Nintendo Co., Ltd.   

In his new role as president and chief operating officer, Fils-Aime will lead the day-to-day operations of Nintendo of America while continuing to oversee the Sales & Marketing Division as the company prepares for the launch of Wii. He joined Nintendo of America in December 2003 to lead all Sales & Marketing efforts in the United States, Latin America and Canada. Prior to joining Nintendo, he served as senior vice president of marketing at VH1. He also has held key marketing positions with Guinness Import Co., Derby Cycle Corp., Pizza Hut, Panda Management Co. and Procter & Gamble.

In his new position as executive vice president of Business Development, Fukuda will oversee corporate strategic planning and third-party publisher and licensing programs. He also will continue to oversee product development more dedicated to the North American market. He has been with the company for 12 years, joining in 1994 as director of planning. Prior to Nintendo, he worked for an international trading company and learned the video game business in the United States, working with third-party publishers during the early days of the Nintendo Entertainment System® (NES).
